When I turn the wheel I can hear a squeaking nose inside the car. It's definetly not coming for outside or in the engine bay, I can confirm it's inside the car.
I really have no idea what to look for, I inspected the column inside without taking anything apart and couldn't tell where I should lube/grease anything up.
Any help is appreciated, it's starting to get annoying and I really am lost in this department.

My guess would be the horn contact extension, they slide a pretty wide arc on a metal ring, and as they dry out tend to make funny noises. Pull the wheel off and you will see what I mean.

Thanks. That's all I needed to know.

There is also a steering shaft bushing that goes bad on a lot of these cars. It is made of plastic and it causes wobble in the shaft and people usually rig some kind of a replacement in there as I don't think they make them any more. Rubber hose is used often with a bit of grease...the problem is the grease dries into the rubber and the squeak results. Maybe this is what is happening here. You can see it when you take off the steering wheel and the combination switch.

Appreciate it.
I'll take a whole day and inspect everything when i get a chance.

Silicone lubricant works wonders on the steering shaft( and squeaky doors!). just an FYI
